Why does the compilation fail?

TheJava switch statement does not support primitive type pattern matchingin switch expressions as of Java 21.

The case pattern case int i -> "integer"; isinvalidbecausepattern matching with primitive types (like int or long) is not yet supported in switch statements.

The error occurs at case int i -> "integer";, leading to acompilation failure.

Correcting the Code

Since myVar is of type Object,autoboxing converts 0 into an Integer.

To make the code compile, we should use Integer instead of int:

java

Object myVar = 0;

String print = switch (myVar) {

case Integer i -> "integer";

case Long l -> "long";

case String s -> "string";

default -> "";

};

System.out.println(print);

Output:

bash

integer

Thus, the correct answer is:Compilation fails.

In this code, a TreeSet named frenchCities is created and populated with the following cities: "Paris", "Marseille", "Lyon", "Lille", and "Toulouse". The TreeSet class in Java stores elements in a sorted order according to their natural ordering, which, for strings, is lexicographical order.

Sorted Order of Elements:

When the elements are added to the TreeSet, they are stored in the following order:

"Lille"

"Lyon"

"Marseille"

"Paris"

"Toulouse"

headSet Method:

The headSet(E toElement) method of the TreeSet class returns a view of the portion of this set whose elements are strictly less than toElement. In this case, frenchCities.headSet("Marseille") will return a subset of frenchCities containing all elements that are lexicographically less than "Marseille".

Elements Less Than "Marseille":

From the sorted order, the elements that are less than "Marseille" are:

"Lille"

"Lyon"

Therefore, the output of the System.out.println statement will be [Lille, Lyon].

Option Evaluations:

A. [Paris]: Incorrect. "Paris" is lexicographically greater than "Marseille".

B. [Paris, Toulouse]: Incorrect. Both "Paris" and "Toulouse" are lexicographically greater than "Marseille".

C. [Lille, Lyon]: Correct. These are the elements less than "Marseille".

D. Compilation fails: Incorrect. The code compiles successfully.

E. [Lyon, Lille, Toulouse]: Incorrect. "Toulouse" is lexicographically greater than "Marseille".

1. Valid Use Cases of var

var is alocal variable type inferencefeature.

The compilerinfers the type from the assigned value.

Example of valid use:

java

var a = 10; // Type inferred as int

var str = "Hello"; // Type inferred as String

2. Analyzing the Given Statements

Statement

Valid/Invalid

Reason

var a = 1;

Valid

Type inferred as int.

var b = 2, c = 3.0;

❌Invalid

var doesnot allow multiple declarationsin one statement.

var d[] = new int[4];

❌Invalid

Array brackets []are not allowedwith var.

var e;

❌Invalid

varrequires an initializer(cannot be declared without assignment).

var f = { 6 };

❌Invalid

{ 6 } is anarray initializer, which must have an explicit type.

var h = (g = 7);

Valid

g is assigned 7, and h gets its value.

Thus, the correct answers are:B, C, D, E

(BufferedWriter writer = new BufferedWriter("file.txt") is incorrect.)

Theincorrect statementisoption Bbecause BufferedWriterdoes nothave a constructor that accepts a String (file name) directly. The correct way to use BufferedWriter is to wrap it around a FileWriter, like this:

java

try (BufferedWriter writer = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("file.txt"))) {

writer.write("Hello");

}

Evaluation of Other Options:

Option A (Files.write)→ Correct

Uses Files.write() to write bytes to a file.

Efficient and concise method for writing small text files.

Option C (FileOutputStream)→ Correct

Uses a FileOutputStream to write raw bytes to a file.

Works for both text and binary data.

Option D (PrintWriter)→ Correct

Uses PrintWriter for formatted text output.

Option F (FileWriter)→ Correct

Uses FileWriter to write text data.

Option E (None of the suggestions)→ Incorrect becauseoption Bis incorrect.

In Java, the Stream API provides several methods to create streams. However, not all approaches are valid.

The jdeps tool is a Java class dependency analyzer that can be used to understand the static dependencies of applications and libraries. It provides several command-line options to customize its behavior.

Valid jdeps Options:

--generate-open-module: Generates a module declaration (module-info.java) with open directives for the given JAR files or classes.

--list-deps: Lists the immediate dependencies of the specified classes or JAR files.

--generate-module-info: Generates a module declaration (module-info.java) for the given JAR files or classes.

--print-module-deps: Prints the module dependencies of the specified modules or JAR files.

--list-reduced-deps: Lists the reduced dependencies, showing only the packages that are directly depended upon.

Invalid Option:

--check-deps: There is no --check-deps option in the jdeps tool.

Conclusion:

Option A (--check-deps) is not a valid option of the jdeps command.

In this code, a Stream containing the elements "a" and "b" is processed using the collect method. The collect method is a terminal operation that performs a mutable reduction on the elements of the stream using a Collector. In this case, custom implementations for the supplier, accumulator, and combiner are provided.

Components of the collect Method:

Supplier:

() -> new StringBuilder("c")

This supplier creates a new StringBuilder initialized with the string "c".

Accumulator:

StringBuilder::append

This accumulator appends each element of the stream to the StringBuilder.

Combiner:

(a, b) -> b.append(a)

This combiner is used in parallel stream operations to merge two StringBuilder instances. It appends the contents of a to b.

Execution Flow:

Stream Elements:"a", "b"

Initial StringBuilder:"c"

Accumulation:

The first element "a" is appended to "c", resulting in "ca".

The second element "b" is appended to "ca", resulting in "cab".

Combiner:

In this sequential stream, the combiner is not utilized. The combiner is primarily used in parallel streams to merge partial results.

Final Result:

The StringBuilder contains "cab". Therefore, the output of the program is:

nginx

cab

In this code, three static methods from the Boolean class are used: logicalAnd, logicalOr, and logicalXor. Each method takes two boolean arguments and returns a boolean result based on the respective logical operation.

Evaluation of Each Statement:

Boolean.logicalAnd(1 == 1, 2 < 1)

Operands:

1 == 1 evaluates to true.

2 < 1 evaluates to false.

Operation:

Boolean.logicalAnd(true, false) performs a logical AND operation.

The result is false because both operands must be true for the AND operation to return true.

Output:

System.out.print(false); prints false.

Boolean.logicalOr(1 == 1, 2 < 1)

Operands:

1 == 1 evaluates to true.

2 < 1 evaluates to false.

Operation:

Boolean.logicalOr(true, false) performs a logical OR operation.

The result is true because at least one operand is true.

Output:

System.out.print(true); prints true.

Boolean.logicalXor(1 == 1, 2 < 1)

Operands:

1 == 1 evaluates to true.

2 < 1 evaluates to false.

Operation:

Boolean.logicalXor(true, false) performs a logical XOR (exclusive OR) operation.

The result is true because exactly one operand is true.

Output:

System.out.print(true); prints true.

Combined Output:

Combining the outputs from each statement, the final printed result is:

nginx

falsetruetrue

Understanding ExecutorService Methods

execute(Runnable command)

Runs the task but only supports Runnable (not Callable).

❌execService.execute(task2); fails because task2 is Callable.

submit(Runnable task)

Submits a Runnable task for execution.

execService.submit(task1); executes "Executing Task-1".

submit(Callable<T> task)

Submits a Callable task for execution.

execService.submit(task2); executes "Executing Task-2".

call() Does Not Exist in ExecutorService

❌execService.call(task1); and execService.call(task2); are invalid.

run() Does Not Exist in ExecutorService

❌execService.run(task1); and execService.run(task2); are invalid.

Correct Code to Print Both Messages:

java

execService.submit(task1);

execService.submit(task2);

Thus, the correct answer is:execService.submit(task1); execService.submit(task2);

Comprehensive and Detailed In-Depth Explanation:

Understanding Java Module Compilation (javac)

Java modules are compiled using the javac command with specific options to specify:

Where the source files are located (--module-source-path)

Where required dependencies (external modules) are located (-p / --module-path)

Where the compiled output should be placed (-d)

Breaking Down the Correct Compilation Command

css

CopyEdit

javac --module-source-path src -p lib/com.eiffel.membership.jar -d out -m com.eiffeltower.shop

--module-source-path src → Specifies the directory where module sources are located.

-p lib/com.eiffel.membership.jar → Specifies the module path (JAR dependency in lib).

-d out → Specifies the output directory for compiled .class files.

-m com.eiffeltower.shop → Specifies the module to compile (com.eiffeltower.shop).
